The Research Of Hospice Care Service Design

With the rich of the material civilization and the awareness of individual citizens, people have a new knowledge of life and life quality, and the development of hospice care was born in this context.Since its birth, the embodiment of design’s value lies in how to help human life, improve the life quality and bring people comfortable, convenience and enjoyment. Regrettably, design is rarely involved in the field of hospice care. There is no specific idea or theory, more lack of the specifically design for it. This thesis is aimed at this lack and studied on the hospice care service design systematically.In this thesis, first, introduced the occurrence and development situation of hospice care briefly, and put forward hospice care service design concept, produce reason and theory research value. Second, discusses and defined the service design audience, design goal and design elements. Third, introduce the hospice care service design in two parts:the tangible factor and the intangible factor. Make a specific design program for the tangible factor design, at the meantime, set out the design methods and elements for the intangible factor. Finally, combined with social statue and the specific design practice result, make the induction and prospect of hospice care service design’s realization method, existing main problem and possible future development trend.Cause the motto of Design For People isn’t an empty talk, the People not only refers to young people who is regarded as society nucleus but also refers to those dying people who is stepping into the last destination of life. Compare with young group, the life of dying person is more fragile, so the care about this group should be more urgent and verily. But in fact, design discipline nearly never takes dying group as direct targeting audience to practice any purposive design, not to mention that forming a systematic, clear design philosophy of the hospice. Therefore, how to take design behavior and design product as a bearer of care or means of hospice care, can be regarded as possible position for future’s humanity design.
